Dividend-paying stocks are one of my most wanted stocks. If they have a long payment history, my trust into future dividend increasing and stable payouts is much higher as for stocks with a irregular payment history. Today, I like to focus on dividend stocks from the industrial sector. Out there are many industrial goods companies with a buy or better rating and most of them also pay good dividends.
I like to screen the 20 best yielding stocks from the sector with a higher market capitalization (over USD2 billion). Below the results are many well known industrials like Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, Waste Management or even the cement producer CRH. Half of the results are currently recommended to buy. Here are my favorite stocks: Raytheon Company (RTN), Emerson Electric (EMR) and General Dynamics (GD).
